![]() ![]() At no point do they feel threatening in the movie, and their plan is to basically have Count Battler use his ability to manipulate the Horn Eaters to bring the animals to him so he can slice off their horns and eat them, because he's hunting for like the prophecied golden horn that gives people super-strength or something. They look like they're taken out of a pile of rejected designs for One Piece villains, I'm sorry. They all have exaggerated "look at these slimy-looking villains" look, other than Hot Dog, who's just a generic brute. ![]() Then we get the villains, which is a herd of "Horn Eaters", basically giant armadillo-rhino creatures that specifically hunt down animals with horns, leading them to a group of illegal poachers - Count Battler, President Heabi and General Hot Dog. The rest of the human Straw Hats are just kind of dicking around and exploring the island. A grand total of zero of the talking animals make any sort of impression on me. And, y'know, Chopper being Chopper, he ends up basically being peer pressured into the position. Here we spend a huge chunk of the first act just dancing around the fact that, hey, our heroes get blasted onto an island with speaking animals, Chopper got separated, and due to silly prophecies (and a recently dead Kirin Lion) he ends up being treated as the king of these talking animals. As formulaic as "Clockwork Island Adventure" is, it's at least trying to build some tension and menace for the villains, and the story was a bit more tense. Sure.Īnd the movie itself really doesn't have a whole ton of interesting or exciting bits. Also, at some point during the movie Chopper accidentally gets mistaken as the King of Animals of Crown Island. And the plot of this movie? Chopper's a coward, but he learns not to be a coward to protect his friends, thereby inspiring guest star of the week Mobambi to also not be a coward. but this movie sure does push Chopper into the forefront. Gotta sell those Tony Tony Chopper merchandise, right?Īnd I'm not sure just how much the people who talk about Chopper being super-duper marketable and the studio executives pushing for him being a bigger face is. The first two One Piece movies have been relatively standalone stories that relied more on the Straw Hat crew stumbling upon a guest star of the movie and then beating up the antagonist, but as the title of this movie implies, this is going to be a movie that focuses a lot on a specific crew member - that being the extremely marketable Chopper. Otherwise known as "the one that highlights Chopper a lot". One Piece Movie: Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals During this time, Luffy's crew have been split up, and despite their own circumstances, they must find a way to stop El Drago from obtaining Woonan's gold.". El Drago's love for gold has driven him to look for Woonan's island, and thanks to Woonan's treasure map, he finds it. ![]() In an attempt to get it back, they wreck the getaway ship, guided by a young boy named Tobio, who's a captured part of El Drago's pirate crew. Aboard the Going Merry, Luffy and his crew, starved and reckless, are robbed of their treasure. Over the course of a few years, the pirate's existence faded, and a legend grew that he disappeared with his gold to a remote island, an island pirates continue to search for.
